Open Caveats in Software Release 7.1(2)
These caveats are open in software release 7.1(2):
• A Catalyst 4500 series switch running in the access layer may display loop guard-inconsistent
messages if a topology change occurs in corresponding designated switches that have a high number
of spanning tree instances. The switch recovers on its own and does not cause a network outage.
(CSCdz65842)
• When connecting NIC: SMC 8432BT with a DEC 21041-AA chipset on a PC Compaq Desktop
6xxxx to a 2980A-G switch at 10/HD, you might experience Align/FCS/Rcv-errors. (CSCdv79989)
• HP TopTool Remote Control Card v2.0 will join or leave the group approximately every 1 minute.
(CSCdw00897)
• The switch does not send dummy frames with known dynamic MAC addresses if one of the uplinks
is configured as GEC and it goes down. (CSCdw34521)
• A router in HSRP standby status is changed to active status. When status is restored, it does not go
back to standby status from active status.
Workaround: The router recovers if the interface on the HSRP standby side is set to shutdown or
no shutdown. (CSCdw32957)
• ARP packets from an AIX server connected to the Catalyst 4000 with GEC links are not received.
This problem is intermittent. (CSCdv15018)
